Sustainability

Dockside Canada Water is green in every sense - a place where both people and nature will thrive.

From the buildings themselves, which are being designed to meet the most demanding operational and embodied-carbon targets, to the neighbourhood with its abundant nature and biodiversity, to the way we're enabling and encouraging active travel.

Sustainable

We are stiving for the highest standards of sustainability, both in the buildings themselves and in the public spaces.

There are no fossil fuels used at Dockside - the buildings are heated and cooled by an air source heat pump system. We're using 55% less water than a typical London workplace. Natural ventilation means that there is 60% more fresh air than in standard London offices, taking advantage of the area's already high air quality.

Biodiverse

We're working with the team at Stave Hill Ecological Park to help nature to thrive at Canada Water.

Stave Hill is advising the landscape team to ensure that the plants and trees in the public spaces and on the buildings themselves support the local wildlife and biodiversity. This is part of a peninsula-wide project to create wildlife corridors throughout the area, linking up the green spaces and waterways and helping wildlife to move and migrate.
